Overview
The laboratory findings related with scrotal mass may vary, depending on the cause of the mass. Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of testicular tumors, may include elevated serum tumor markers such as AFP, LDH, or HCG..CRP level up to 24mg /L is highly specific and sensitive for epididymitis and orchitis.
Laboratory Studies
- Serum tumor marker tests are generally used to check the response to cancer treatment. They can also be used to diagnose testicular cancer as the cause of scrotal mass.[1]
- The tumor markers that may be measured for evaluation of scrotal mass include:[1][2]
